There are currently 22 obstetricians being trained in Western Australia at King Edward Memorial Hospital, Osborne Park Hospital, Joondalup Hospital and Bunbury Regional Hospital. All 5 training places have been filled for 2008 and additional places are currently being negotiated.
During the period of 2004-2007, ten obstetricians completed their training in Western Australia with two finishing in 2004, two in 2005, five in 2006 and one in 2007.
Planning is underway to increase training opportunities in obstetrics within existing training centres, and on rotation in outer metropolitan centres and rural settings.
The Minister for Health has not written to the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
